SeaMonkey 1.1.2 Released - Team Urges Users to Upgrade

[Basil Hashem]

Hi all,

Today, the SeaMonkey project released a new version of its all-in-one
internet suite. SeaMonkey 1.1.2 closes several security vulnerabilities
and fixes several smaller problems found in previous versions. With
that, SeaMonkey stays at the same level of security as its siblings
Firefox and Thunderbird, which are issuing updates for the same problems
this week as well.

Despite a simultaneous release of a last update to the SeaMonkey 1.0
series, SeaMonkey 1.0.9, the project team strongly urges users to
upgrade to SeaMonkey 1.1.2, as the old 1.0 series will not be maintained
further. The 1.1 series, on the other hand, is being actively maintained
and also features some new functionality such as spell checking in web
forms and mail tags.

In addition to users of older SeaMonkey versions, the SeaMonkey team
strongly urges users of the old Mozilla Suite and Netscape 4, 6 or 7 to
upgrade to SeaMonkey 1.1.2. Those software packages suffer from a large
and rising number of security vulnerabilities because they are no longer
being maintained. SeaMonkey 1.1.2 is a drop-in replacement, providing
the same basic suite functionality plus additional features, without
known security problems but with current updates.
The SeaMonkey project team took over development of the all-in-one
internet application suite after Netscape and later the Mozilla
Foundation ceased to work on it. Under the new name, users are provided
with current versions of the established software package.

SeaMonkey 1.1.2 is available for free download from the open source
project's website at www.seamonkey-project.org.
